Application filed December 5, 1.901. Serial No. 84,728. (No model.) v

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, MARCUS "1. GoLDsMITH, a subg] ect vof the Czar of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved ChatelainejBag Hook, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. v

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved chatelaine-bag hook which is simple and durable in construction and arranged to securely hold the hook in position on the waist-belt of the wearer against accidental detachment or removal by unauthorized persons, at the same time allowing the wearer to conveniently and readily attach or detach the hook whenever desired.

The invention consists -of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanyingdrawings, forming a partof this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts-in all the views.

Figure 1 is a face view of the improvement as applied. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same, showing the hook locked against removal from a waist-belt. Fig. 3 is a like view of the same, showing the hook unlocked for removal from the waist-belt. Fig. 4 is a rear face view of the improvement. Fig. 5 is a vsectional face view of thesame, and Fig. 6 is a said prong is adapted to be inclosed at its free end by a slide E, mounted to slide up and down on a guideway F, formed on the rear shank B of the hook.

vided with an upwardly-extending handle E', lying close to the rear face of the rear shank The slide E is pro;

B, and on the upperend of the said handle E is'arranged a ring or similar device to al'- low-V the wearer to conveniently take hold of the slide E, up and down on the guideway F.

ls the ring to move the handle E', and with it When the slide Eis in the lowermost posiv the points thereof from engaging the waistbelt D, or in' case` the prong-points are en- Y gaged with the belt a slight downward pressure of the'hook'and an upward pull on the slide will not only disengage the prong-points from the waistbelt, but will cause the slide E to inclose the free end of the prong C.

It is understood that the prong C` is resilivent and normally projects out of the plane of the rear shank B and toward the front shank to engage the belt, and thereby to prevent removal of the hook from the belt, as above eX- plained. l

In order to properly guide the slide E and its handle E on the guideway,F,.I provide the said slide with guide-lugs E3, and similar guide-lugs E4 are arranged on the handle.`

The guideway F is preferably formed by cutting ont a portion of the shank B and leaving the prong C extending in the guideway at its lower end, so that when the slide- E is drawn upward it causes the prong to swing rearwardly into the space formed by the guide- -way,ad when the slide E is moved downward the resiliency of the prong causes the same to swing inwardly in to an active position. may be arranged on the rear shank B across the guideway F for the upper end of the slide E to abut against to limit the upward movement of theslide.

It is understood that thefront shank A is provided at its lower end with the usual hook G for receiving the chain G of a chatelainebag. As shown in Fig. 6, a spring H is employed to draw the slide E back to its normal lowermost position after the hook has been A stop B in the form of a cross-bar f IOO removed from the belt, the said spring H befor inclosing the said prong, as set forth.

2. A chatelaine-bag hook, provided with a,

hook proper, the rear shank of which is provided with a guideway extending lengthwise of the shank, a prong integral with the rear shank and projecting from the face thereof in an upward and forward direction, and a slide movable on the said gnideway and under the control of the wearer, the slide being arranged to inclose the said prong, as set forth.

3. A chatelaine-bag hook, provided with' a hook proper, the rear shank of Which is provided with a guideway extending lengthwise of the shank, a prong integral with the rear shank and projectingfrom the face thereof in an upward and forward direction, a slide mov able on the said guideway, and a handle on the slide and projecting upward to the top of the hook, the said handle being under the control of the wearer to move the slide n p and down for inclosing the free end of the prong or to disengage the said free end, as set forth.

4. A chatelaine-bag hook, provided with a hook proper, the rear shank of which is provided with a guideway extending lengthwise of the shank, a prong integral with the rear shank and projecting from the face thereof in an n p Ward and forward direction, a slide movable on the said guideway, a handle on the slide and projecting upward to the top of the hook, the said handle being under the control of the wearer to move the slide up and down for inclosing the free end of the prong or to disengage the said free end, and means for limiting the sliding movement of the said slide on the guideway, as set forth.
